Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
“Finally, from so little sleeping and so much reading, his brain dried up and he went completely out of his mind.”
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

Hilary Mantel
“The weight of the old world is stifling, and trying to shovel its weight off your life is tiring just to think about. The constant shuttling of opinions is tiring, and the shuffling of papers across desks, the chopping of logic and the trimming of attitudes. There must, somewhere, be a simpler, more violent world.”
Hilary Mantel, A Place of Greater Safety

Louisa May Alcott
“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”
Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Perhaps, when we remember wars, we should take off our clothes and paint ourselves blue and go on all fours all day long and grunt like pigs. That would surely be more appropriate than noble oratory and shows of flags and well-oiled guns.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle

Virginia Woolf
“A million candles burnt in him without his being at the trouble of lighting a single one”
Virginia Woolf, Orlando
